"You have no idea how cunning this Haunted House's boss is. Only by staying together will we have a chance of clearing this scenario."
Bai Buhui confirmed that the two students were actors, so he stopped being wary of the middle-aged man. "You don't want your wife to break down from fear, right? We're here to play the Haunted House, not to be played by the Haunted House. "
"Fine, I'll follow you for now." The middle-aged man still refused to believe Bai Buhui. "But I'm warning you, if we run into something really scary, the two of us will not go with you."
The more cautious the middle-aged man was, the more Bai Buhui thought he was a normal visitor. "Don't worry."
The camera focused on Bai Buhui. The host had changed, but the chat was still very lively. A netizen called A Toast to the Moonlight even bet on how long this new host could last.
"Ol 'Liu, you'll be filming. Sister Ghost, you're responsible for contacting Liu Gang. Keep an eye on their movements. Small Ghost and I will scout ahead. The rest of you will cover us." Bai Buhui was obviously better than Liu Gang. Based on everyone's personality and ability, he assigned everyone a task in a short amount of time.
"Are we going to find Liu Gang now? But we don't even know where the library is. "When Small Ghost heard that Bai Buhui wanted him to scout ahead, he felt quite uncomfortable.
"Listen to me," Bai Buhui replied coldly. "We'll use the location where the camera fell as the center and search around. I'll give everyone three minutes. Whether we find any useful information or not, we'll leave immediately."
"What can we do in three minutes?"
"You just need to listen to me." Bai Buhui considered the fact that there were other visitors, so he added, "My colleagues have visited this Haunted House before. After paying a big price, they gained some valuable experience. Do not stay at the same place for too long. If you stay for too long, the ghosts will find you on their own."
Bai Buhui's personality was terrible, but he was very capable, so no one argued with him. They all obediently did as he said.
They pushed open the door, and soon, they found something.
Small Ghost found the birthday card that Mr. Bai had given his daughter and the seventh report from the supernatural phenomenon research society. Big Ghost found the thirteenth report from the supernatural phenomenon research society in Mr. Bai's bedroom.
"Report No.7 recorded the location of the Art Club. It seems to be in heaven. Number 13's report is even more bizarre. It says that there is a wishing well in the school. If you make a wish during the day, as long as you jump into the well at midnight, your wish will come true. " Big Ghost reported his discovery to Bai Buhui. The more he investigated, the deeper he realized he had sunk. The complexity of this scenario was unimaginable. Multiple main storylines intertwined, and sixty minutes of exploration was not enough.
"Heaven? Wishing Well? " After Bai Buhui memorized these two keywords, he signaled for Sister Ghost to call Liu Gang, and the group started to search for the library.
Passing the staff dormitory and the office building, Bai Buhui's group took a long detour before they reached the center of the school.
After passing through an eerie green belt, they finally saw the incomplete map of the School of the Afterlife on a sign.
"The library is behind the teaching building!" Little Gui's eyes were sharp, and he immediately discovered the location of the library.
Bai Buhui nodded lightly. His gaze shifted to the corner of the map. At the edge of the field, a well was drawn.
In this school filled with ghost stories, the Supernatural Observation Society should be on the same side as the visitors. Their investigation reports should be the most important clue. Bai Buhui thought about it quietly. Report No.7 said that the Art Club is in heaven, and Report No.13 mentioned the wishing well. These two reports were placed in the same room, so there has to be a connection between them!
A light crossed his eyes, and Bai Buhui pushed on his glasses. Could the wishing well be the hidden path to heaven? As long as we jump into the well, we can enter the Art Club?
Who would think that the well would be the exit? The hidden path behind the library should be fake. That is a trap set up by the Haunted House's workers. Perhaps the path that I found is the real one. Bai Buhui sighed. This Liu Gang is hopelessly stupid. The clue is where they once stayed, but he failed to find it.
After memorizing the location of the well, Bai Buhui had Sister Ghost call Liu Gang, but for some reason, Liu Gang did not pick up.
"Looks like he's in trouble." Bai Buhui was helpless. He had everyone follow him to the education block at the center of the school.
In the silent corridor, the dim lights kept flickering. The visitors who walked in the middle could see the empty classrooms on both sides through the windows.
The classrooms that were once filled with the sound of reading and laughter now only had old tables and chairs left. Perhaps only the words carved on the table could prove how lively this place used to be.
"What the!"
After turning a corner, Small Ghost, who led the way, suddenly screamed.
"What did you see?" Bai Buhui hurried over.
"There's someone standing in that classroom." Small Ghost pointed at the classroom on the other side of the corridor.
From the outside, this classroom was no different from other classrooms, and it was hard to attract attention.
But when the visitors let their guard down and walked past, they realized with a start that there was someone standing in the middle of the classroom.
He was wearing a strange-looking school uniform. His head was lowered, and he did not say a word.
"Haunted House workers?" Small Ghost's expression changed from initial fear to excitement. "I've been in the Haunted House for almost half an hour, and I finally see an actor. I thought they would hide like turtles."
"Our priority now is to find Liu Gang. We shouldn't waste time here," Bai Buhui and Big Ghost advised at the same time.
"Earlier, they kept adding to the atmosphere, and that unknown terror was scary. Now that they've shown their real faces, what do we have to be afraid of?" Small Ghost seemed to enjoy pranks. "Let me go and remove his mask to see what this Haunted House worker looks like."
The security, Liu Guangming, sensibly turned the camera toward Small Ghost.
He did not use the front door but the backdoor. He probably planned to ambush from behind to scare the actor.
The livestream was going on outside, and Liu Gang wanted to see the actor make a fool of himself, so he did not stop him.
Small Ghost pushed open the backdoor lightly, but just as he was about to enter, his body froze like stone.
"Where … where is he?"
There was no one in the classroom. The male student that he had seen earlier had disappeared into thin air.
"He's hiding in a hidden path?" Sister Ghost and Big Ghost also thought that was strange. The security, Liu Guangming, squeezed to Small Ghost's side to record. He was not a professional cameraman, so the picture was shaky and blurry.
"Come out now! There's something wrong with this classroom! " Bai Buhui shouted from behind. The middle-aged man, Lao Zhou, and Duan Yue looked at each other, and they saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
This is not in the script! Who is that student?
With Lao Zhou's signal, Duan Yue secretly messaged Chen Ge, and moments later, she received a reply from Chen Ge.
"We're all on the same side. There's a special building in a four-star scenario — the Ghost Story Classroom. It will randomly appear inside the School of the Afterlife, and every night, it will produce a ghost story related to the school. This ghost story will not harm anyone, but you have to be careful. The higher the number of screams, the scarier the ghost story will be, so I suggest the two of you avoid it. "
